About Pam Erb-Melville


We have enjoyed an absolutely tremendous partnership with Pam over the years. She has been instrumental in not only helping to strengthen communication skills with our executives, managers and their teams, she helps people change their outlook, build confidence, and improve their level of professionalism. Whether it’s in a classroom setting, in individual coaching situations, or through impromptu (and generous) advice that she shares with our associates, Pam is the one we call in when we have a difficult and challenging developmental situation, and she has always been able to make a difference.
